Customer Reviews New Balance WW1865v1

I wore this shoes yesterday for 12 hours and my feet were happy. I have flat feet and plantar faciitis so I am always looking for comfort. They are very light and easy to wear.

I am a walker not a runner. I love these! Everyday I put them on and cannot get over how real comfy they are. Wished I had gotten second pair...one for everyday and the other for special occasions. (maybe I will...:)

These New Balance shoes are extremely comfortable. I love the color! I have to order a wide and they are true to size.

These are narrow for an XWide. Nice looking shoes though and material construction looks comfortable but I have to return them.

I am size 8, ordered wide for toe comfort. Walked in these two days straight in NYC. They were supportive , comfortable . My toes do feel like they touch the front of sneaker, no discomfort noted. They might run a bit small. They are lightweight. I will get a lot of use out of these on a daily basis. I also have had plantar fasciitis, and had no issues.

A good shoe and very easy to go long distances on concrete. The lighter blue top can get dirty but cleans up easily.

I ordered my normal size 8W and it was 1/2 size too small. Exchanged for 8.5W.

I buy shoes that fit my orthotics and these are true to the 7 1/2 W that New Balance usually has. These are a little less deep in the toe box than usual, however, but the fabric on top is soft enough that I am hoping that they will mold more to my foot as I wear them. The blue/purple is a nice color and I have had compliments on them.

I have the forerunner of this shoe in a 6AA and ordered the same size. It seems to run a bit shorter and does not have as much room in the toe box (as noted by other reviewers). Still, the size worked for me (my actual shoe size is 5 1/2 narrow). The shoe is very comfortable - did not require any 'break-in' period - and provides good support and traction. I wore it while hiking on easy-to-moderate trails and I felt sure-footed wearing it. The shoelaces seem to be a bit short though - they work ok, but it would have been nice to have another 1-2 inches on each lace to allow for wearing the shoe a bit looser (such as when feet swell a bit at the end of a long day). I was still able to loosen the laces enough, but there was only just enough lace to allow it.

It took me 3 tries to get the right fit, but it was worth it. The shoe I felt ran a little small and narrow. I normally wear a 9.5 M, but ended up with a 10 W. Maybe could've even went with the extra wide. I'm happy that I persisted because I wore them right away when I had to spend a long day walking on cement and they were so comfortable!

The fit and size were excellent. However, after only putting about 20 miles of walking on these adorably cute tennies, the foam interior padding began to really flatten, to the point after only short walks - a mile or so- my feet really began to feel sore. These will have to remain my cute shoes for looks, not exercise. And not cheap or on sale, they were $120....but I'm noticing (and others have agreed with me) in NB athletic shoes that I've purchased and worn for a couple of decades aren't what they used to be. Decrease in quality as before. I usually wear a 6-6 1/2 but the 7.5 worked out really well. Disappointed.

Excellent. Double wide is the way to go. New Balance are great. Does Nike do a larger variety in Double Wide Widths ? I was unable to find.

I love New Balance. This pair seemed small & the shoe is stiff. I usually buy mens so the the toe box is wide enough for my jogged out feet. As an aging athlete I need very soft, flexible, light weight and wide toed shoes. The purple is great, I should have gotten men's for my comfort.

ORDER A SIZE WIDER!!! I am so glad I read the reviews, because I ordered my usual size 10B and 10D (wide). I kept the wide pair. I have been wearing New Balance walking shoes for a couple of decades, and this is the only pair I needed a wide in. Otherwise, the shoe is comfortable, and supportive on the treadmill. I am not wild about any of the color combinations, so just went with the most neutral. It has a strange combination of accent colors. I hope New Balance does a better job with aesthetic design next time.

I bought these in black extra wide almost a year ago. I wear them all the time with my custom orthodics. They have served me well. Unfortunately the inside heel has completely crumbled away. I don't feel it when I wear it, so I suppose it's not a huge deal. But I've never had a shoe crumble out chucks of foam before.

I had 3 foot surgeries for bunions this past year and needed WW shoes for when I could walk again. These don’t hurt my surgery areas and are comfortable to walk around Disneyland all day. I would highly recommend these to anyone who needs WW shoes and they are cute - not ugly like most WW shoes.
